FS2000 vs AR, any thoughts?

Hi Johnny,

I saw that rail on another site a while back and the person posting it said that it was made by MSAR. I don't see it on MSAR's website, but they don't list accessories or parts anyway. You might want to give them a call and see if they have them, or can point you in the right direction.

Also, this one looks like it was for sale last year, and it's not marked "sold" by the poster like his other items, so you might want to contact him to see if he still has it. Long shot, but can't hurt!

I was looking at the CDNN catalog and they have these FS2000 for around $1400. Now these look awesome, and according to reviews they are fun to shoot, ect.

I am looking to get my first battle rifle. I want something that I can maybe use for 3 gun someday, and something I can go coyote hunting with as well. I've looked around at AR's, but I like the idea of the bullpup.

I imagine getting something like the fs2000 tactical model, putting one of those 3-9 combat scopes on it, and having fun. However, I could buy a AR for about half to 2/3rds the price, and it is more modular.


So does anyone have any experience with these? Are they worth it? Can you use them in 3 gun matches? Are they zombie/SHTF certified?

The biggest thing the FS2000 has going for it is it's short length. Putting a 3-9 seems like defeating the purpose of a short CQB type weapon to me. I owned one but sold it. The reasons being poor access to action, flimsy charging handle, lack of PMag compatibility, lack of drop-free mag/slow reloading, terrible trigger, bulky (very wide) construction, and the fact that I could feel a very slight sting in my cheek with each shot unnerved me a little considering how close the chamber is to my face in the event of a kaboom. That being said, it was a very fun rifle to shoot and it had zero malfunctions in the 1200 or so rounds I put through it.

And looking like a weapon from HALO.
